Main Category Image - Want to use an image other than avatar

Post by FreshIdeasMktg »

ETA: Latest PhocaGallery, Joomla 2.5.14


I'm trying to add an image to represent a MAIN category. This category has no images, but multiple folders/categories underneath. I understand how to add an image for a folder that has images (in options - what used to be called parameters), but I don't understand how to add an image to a category with no images (only subcategories) inside of it.

Example:

Networking - no images
--September 2013 After Hours
--August 2012 Early Morning

Trying to follow the directions here: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... categories

And these fields to not appear anywhere on the category creation page.
Image This image is displayed above the description in Category View
Image layout Image can be on the left or right side
Description Fill in the description which appears above the images in the Category View

Hi, this is a problem, you need to disable the "special" value in representing image parameter - "special" parameter saves the loading of items, other parameters can search through whole tree of categories and subcategories - so if you set e.g. ordering by ID, the system will try to find it in category, if there is no image, then it will try to search subcategory.
